Brian Brodrick: Story on Internet use by gangs 'outstanding'

Posted: Wednesday, February 28, 2007

The story in Sunday's Athens Banner-Herald on local gangs utilizing the Internet ("Where to go to express yourself? Check out the public library"), was a very thoughtful piece. I doubt many citizens had given thought to that issue before, which is a sign of insightful reporting. I hope the story spurs a broader look at the issue regionally and nationally, particularly when taxpayer resources could be providing these types of services to criminals. Kudos to Banner-Herald reporter Joe Johnson for an outstanding story.
